HUGE Father's Day Idea Roundup

With Father's Day being Sunday, there are just a few more days to find or make the perfect gift for the guy/s in your life. Whether it's your husband, father, grandpa or uncle, I've rounded up lots of ways to make him feel special.

Click on the source links to go to the original source if you'd like to pin any of these great ideas.

Gift ideas
This etched glass baseball vase is a cool idea for a guy who like baseball. Find out how to make your own HERE

Here's a different take on the 'tie' theme found over at Little LDS Ideas. The attached note says:

Here's a special tie for you,
To tell you Thanks for all you do!
Dad, you are:
T-errific
I-ncredible
E-xtraordinary
You're the best a kid could have,
I'm so glad that you're my Dad!
Happy Father's Day!
Love, (child's name).

Then at the bottom, in smaller font it says:
It's not another tie to wear,
But maybe one that you could share?

Another "Tie-rific" idea from Then She Made. Candy bars wrapped up to look like a shirt and tie.

These Father's Day Goodie Bags could be filled with Dad's favorite treat. Find out how to make them at Little Family Fun.

Hugs and Kisses in a bag with this cute printable make an easy gift for the kids at church to give to their dads. The words come from THIS primary children's song.

Here's a cute canvas project for Dad. Click on over to Roots and Wings to get the full tutorial. You could easily add more kid's hands to the picture, or make the hands out of fabric instead of patterned paper. It would make a cute card too.

Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad.

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

~ Theodore Hesburgh

"...a father's calling is eternal, and its importance transcends time. It is a calling for both time and eternity" ("To the Fathers in Israel," Ezra Taft Benson: ("To the Fathers in Israel," Ensign, Nov 1987, 48.)

Fathers, like mothers, are not born. Men grow into fathers and fathering is a very important stage in their development.

~ David Gottesman

"Earn the respect and confidence of your children through your loving relationship with them. A righteous father protects his children with his time and presence in their social, educational, and spiritual activities and responsibilities. Tender expressions of love and affection toward children are as much the responsibility of the father as the mother. Tell your children you love them" Howard W. Hunter: ("Being a Righteous Husband and Father," Ensign, Nov 1994, 49.)

A wise son maketh a glad father

~ Proverbs 10:1

Here's a great article by James E. Faust about being a good husband and father:"Most men worry about succeeding in their life’s work and spend much time and effort at their profession. But I’ve learned that the way to put one’s professional life in order is to put one’s personal life in order. How can we be adequate at anything professionally without being adequate as men, husbands, and fathers first? "

A father carries pictures where his money used to be.

~Author Unknown

Another article by James E. Faust about how we can help strengthen the father:"In order to strengthen the father in the home, I make two simple suggestions: first, sustain and respect the father in his position; second, give him love, understanding, and some appreciation for his efforts."

He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

I know this was a long post but I figured I'd put all these ideas in one spot. Hope you found something useful. A lot of the gifts would not only work for Father's Day, but would work for birthday and Christmas too.
